Hi,
I need an app that can connect midi devices and save the connections as presets. In the meantime I use Claudia from KXStudio ,but have to run Jack (with dummy audio) and a2j bridje.
Is there any simple app that can save presets of alsa mid connections?

You can save snapshots of alsa midi connections using qjackctl's patchbay. If you hit "new" under the patchbay window, it will ask you if you want to create the new patchbay as a snapshot of the current connections. You hit yes, and then save it.

Afterwards, you can go to qjackctl's setup window and select "activate patchbay persistance" and select the file you just created.


I hope it is useful.

+1 for qjackctl's patch bay. It can store audio or midi connections as presets and switch between them easily.

Adding one tip from the Arch wiki that I found handy:
"You can automate starting of a2jmidid by adding to QjackCtl Setup > Options > Execute script after Startup: /usr/bin/a2jmidid -e &"

Thanks! It works!

Is there a way to load different patchbay presets via terminal ?

tells you that the --active-patchbay option will load your selected patchbay at startup.

For instance:
should load the patchbay definition named pbay4work.xml, assuming the definition is found in the active directory. (Otherwise, indicate the whole path.)

I hope that's what you wanted to know.

Best,

Thank you , will try it ASAP
